我试图设置一个HttpClient对象的Content-Type头作为我调用的API所要求的。

我试着像下面这样设置内容类型:

using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
{
    httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://example.com/");
    httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept", "application/json");
    httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Content-Type", "application/json");
    // ...
}

它允许我添加Accept头,但当我尝试添加Content-Type时,它会抛出以下异常:

误用头名称。确保请求头与一起使用 HttpRequestMessage,带有HttpResponseMessage的响应头,以及 内容头与HttpContent对象。

如何在HttpClient请求中设置内容类型报头?

对于那些没有看到约翰对卡洛斯解决方案的评论…

req.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/octet-stream");

调用AddWithoutValidation而不是Add(参见MSDN链接)。

或者,我猜您正在使用的API实际上只需要POST或PUT请求(而不是普通的GET请求)。在这种情况下,当您调用HttpClient时。然后传入一个HttpContent,在HttpContent对象的Headers属性上设置这个。

内容类型是内容的头,而不是请求的头,这就是失败的原因。Robert Levy建议的AddWithoutValidation可以工作,但是你也可以在创建请求内容本身时设置内容类型(注意,代码片段在两个地方添加了application/json - Accept和content - type头):

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://example.com/");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders
      .Accept
      .Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));//ACCEPT header

HttpRequestMessage request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "relativeAddress");
request.Content = new StringContent("{\"name\":\"John Doe\",\"age\":33}",
                                    Encoding.UTF8, 
                                    "application/json");//CONTENT-TYPE header

client.SendAsync(request)
      .ContinueWith(responseTask =>
      {
          Console.WriteLine("Response: {0}", responseTask.Result);
      });

我发现下面的方法最简单易懂:

async Task SendPostRequest()
{
    HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
    var requestContent = new StringContent(<content>);
    requestContent.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
    var response = await client.PostAsync(<url>, requestContent);
    var responseString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
}
...

SendPostRequest().Wait();

好吧,它不是HTTPClient,但如果你能使用它,WebClient是相当简单的:

using (var client = new System.Net.WebClient())
 {
    client.Headers.Add("Accept", "application/json");
    client.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
    client.DownloadString(...);
 }

你需要这样做:

    HttpContent httpContent = new StringContent(@"{ the json string }");
    httpContent.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json");
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));                
    HttpResponseMessage message = client.PostAsync(@"{url}", httpContent).Result;
